Greetings AUSA members and Friends of the U.S. Army,

Thanks to your memberships we are able to be a strong voice in the community supporting the men and women in uniform who are serving our country.

Your AUSA Chapter is always in need of more leadership assistance. If you would like to participate on the Chapter executive committee, we are looking for more help. We meet once a month for a lunch meeting to plan our support to soldiers. Please reply to this email for date, time and location details.

In October, I attended the AUSA annual meeting in Washington DC. For the 12th consecutive year, we were recognized as a national Chapter of Excellence and received 18 ribbons for our accomplishments. Below is a picture of me receiving awards from General Ham, President and CEO of AUSA and Sergeant Major of the Army Dan Dailey.

Message from the Chapter PresidentOur recent AUSA annual awards and recognition dinner was a big success with the largest turn out in the history of the Chapter! This is an opportunity to publicly recognize outstanding Active, Army Reserve and Army National Guard Soldiers and Army ROTC Cadets. Your presence at the dinner is essential so these outstanding soldiers receive the recognition they have earned. Once we have the date for the 2019 awards and recognition dinner, we will let you know.

Our Chapter membership is the engine that keeps us going. This includes local businesses we call Community Partner Members. The modest membership cost adds up with many members. Being an AUSA member is a very small cost, yet very important statement, that a business wants to support the U.S. Army in our community. If you know of a business in greater Tucson that would like to do something at a low cost to support U.S. Army Soldiers, please let me know. AUSA Community Partner memberships start at only $175 a year. Combine that with many members and it is has a big impact on what the Chapter can do.
